CBS Interview with Rabbi Levin Re: Jewish View Same Gender Marriage (full)

[myboint]

if two guys want to hook up I don't care, if orthodox Jewish citizens dislike it, fine, it's their right to have that opinion. The issue to me is everyone has equal protection under the law. We rule by the will of law not by the will of the majority. "And to the republic for which it stands..." Not the democracy for which it stands.

[capitanzach]

Homophobic Jews... they all are!

[shieldsff]

In light of the fact that there are clear principals of exegesis which emphasize the role of theme& context, it's shocking you insist on this. It's clear from the words of the Lord Jesus HImself that the creation order was & is the uniting of man & female- that it is sinful & ungodly to agitate otherwise.This theme is established in the genesis account of the male/female relationship and later re- inforced by Jesus who also condemns divorce. Nowhere are homosexuals EVER called 'Echad'

[makdindin]

Sadly this is a most worthy cause being taken up by a most unworthy spokesman. A shame a serious rabbi doesn't take it up. Yehuda levin is not a respected rabbi in the Orthodox Jewish community. He is known to be ignorant on Jewish religious law,a buffoon and struggles to get ten jews to join him in prayer once a week-in Brooklyn NY the most densely populated jewish community in this hemisphere.

[1010juanita]

If this is the case you are to blame to, the earth go bad because the ignorance and lock of respect to the humanity, do you take in count how manic religious people rape the kids?

[fireball111121]

He acts as though these two guys are trying to get married because they're Jewish. What if they're not Jewish, what if they are in love. He's here to stamp on that. ):

[xebhai]

A man of courage and common sense. He is perhaps the best and most articulate of all religious and moral people. And thats not a minority but most of us. To be apathetic to the growth of perverts in the name of civil rights who suppress the rest of us and our views with the McCarthystic cry of 'civil or human rights'. Krishnan

[Natureboy10307]

You better respond to this, You are one of the reasons why i have became atheist, So who is this 'God'? Some almighty powered source? Where is he at? That's right, he don't exist. All religion is only something to explain things that occur that we can't explain. When this 'God' comes down and raptures/smite me, then i'll bow down to him. REALLY PEOPLE. Think, what hell is God huh? This why i don't believe in such shit because there is no prof of it. You have none and that's why Religion will end

[fireball111121]

@Natureboy10307 No need to hate on God. There is a difference between atheism and hatred. You started off with a good point here, but then ruined it with your rant about God.

[Natureboy10307]

@fireball111121 How can i hate 'God' When he don't exist, and you have no prof of his existence, nor do they have existence of Jesus's arrival to Earth, There was many men with the same name and people didn't have as much intelligence as we do now, And that's why they couldn't explain the events going on so they turned to Religion. I don't start arguments unless i know i am going to win it, Specially on the internet.

[fireball111121]

@Natureboy10307 You're hating on the idea of God, big difference. And there is a Jesus. There has been many Jesus's! And he didn't arrive to Earth like on a space ship or something. Also, you did start an argument you couldn't win, as there is no winning to this argument. Religion will never truly be gone or 100% disproved. I'm a strong believer in the theory of evolution, gravity (duh for both of those), the big bang, and the multiverse and many more like them! God may have created the big bang

[Natureboy10307]

@fireball111121 Now you're kinda taking my side except you mentioned 'God' again, not going to respond again, got better things to worry about like this Hurricane that 'God' created haha.

[fireball111121]

@Natureboy10307 So your going to not respond by responding? And yes, I mentioned God because I believe he exists. And in what shape, way or form did I take your side? I believe in both God and scientific theories. And you're just using the hurricane as an excuse at this point. -_-

[dx398]

Obese, Vile, Filthy Evil Rabbi.

[Iwaslookingatme]

Has anything every come out of Rabbi Levans mouth thats not bigoted filth?

[BeeJayEm1]

How many men and women died fighting the Nazi's for this wanker to start speading hate himself?

[Ztuliable]

I would like to go on record saying that so called rabbi yehuda levin is an ignorant Ass Hole.

His views are not shared by any jew who respects themselves. He is a joke. A bad joke.

[extazy17]

@Ztuliable ooh yea? Do you even follow Jewish law? Do you even recognize the Torah of G-D? Or are you a koffer who tries to talk for the Jewish Torah. I suggest you stop being ignorant and agains't G-D and actually read the Torah.

[joey71]

fucking jew pig. im from Iceland, last night me and my friends we broke down some crosses at some jew grave, tonight we going to burn some of them down and the funny thing is that nobody even cares, we already destroyed 4 graves and i personally peed on 2 of them - plan is to fuck up all of the jewish pig graves in the only cemetery they allow those fuckers to lay in, i hope you all burn in hell fucking pricks.

[pierrepicaud1]

@joey71

loser. go break some more graves huhhhhhhhhh

[joey71]

@pierrepicaud1 go break your own neck you jewish piece of shit.

[clarkewi]

@joey71 Go to hell French faggot with the other French faggots and Muslims.

[joey71]

@clarkewi Im Icelandic not french you stupid fuck + i am not a Muslim. don't you have to be somewhere now...like in a gas chamber...jew pig.

[pierrepicaud1]

Homophobia is sad but even sadder are the people "fighting" homophobia with Antisemitism, like @joey71 a retarded man from Iceland who pisses on Jewish Graves. It's freezing in Iceland. Joe's dick and brain must have shriveled. That's why he only pissed on 2 out of 5 graves his friends trashed. It's all quite sad really, but how could we as a people educate Joe the pathetic bushman, or better yet, convince him to piss on himself and jump in a lake? You shame humanity Pissboy. You shame Bjork!

[joey71]

@pierrepicaud1 actually no...its not freezing in Iceland... and Björk suck's...

[pierrepicaud1]

@joey71

it's not cold in Iceland if you're hairy all over. You sound quite beastly, so i believe you.

Bjork sucks, but more importantly, YOU SUCK DICK.

[joey71]

@pierrepicaud1 not really...im used to bend over that fucking bitch that you call mother and fuck her haaard.

Dont you just love the news today... bombing bus in jewland...got to love it! hope many of you disgusting jewpig are going to die... and yeah... i couldnt give a more fuck about what you pig's are saying but i am going on a jew hunting with my friends on friday... baseball bat and ugly ass jew = fun!

[pierrepicaud1]

@joey71, Jews run the world and you're a poor uneducated schmuck from the armpit of the universe. Your pseudo hatred is really envy. Gladly no one give's a shit and I'm having a great time! BTW, Jewish graves do not have crosses because Jews are Jewish, you idiot. You must have pissed on your Christian brothers and they will come back for you because from the way you write it's clear you eat shit and sniff glue so your urine can surely raise the dead. Not dead Jews though. Jews don't mix.

[hedone19]

@pierrepicaud1 Wow... for people like you Hitler did what he did. This is why religion has caused so many wars. I'm not agains Jews or Christians just against stupidity.

[ISMIHANI]

Your religion isn't working, nothing to offer in protection of homosexuality. Then you came up with ideas of irresponsibility in solving this problem.

[ISMIHANI]

Homosexuality is obsolutely nonsense. Don't relate it with marriage. No religion allows its followers to do that , againts the nature and irrational. This guy, Levin without religious thinking advocates homosexuality through experience in it and at the end of the day, they will come to get advice from the pious. I would say "NO" to this approach, protection is the only solution by enforcing religious belief in societies.

[nicksum29]

@ISMIHANI God's actions are also irrational, and seemingly illogical.... and yet, they are true.

[ISMIHANI]

@nicksum29 ,God is the creator to test human beings whether they are able to stand up with their ideas regarding life and death, path to follow according to their minds based on rational thinking and books of guidance. Concepts of irrational and illogical thinking are mental activities of human's mind within the context of relative truth. Thus, god's actions are irrational is unacceptable because the word 'irrational' is confined to human's mind and is very limited.

[nicksum29]

@ISMIHANI This little paragraph of yours is a perfect example of an Irish Bull. By that definition, all poetry is irrational - including the entire Bible.

[ISMIHANI]

@nicksum29 , Divine revelation isn't poems, it tells you about future events that every single soul has to face. n this regard, some holybooks have been altered and their followers are getting nowhere in finding truth. People of the 'altered holybooks' have been challenged to prove their true faith and many times failed to provide justification. Unlike muslims, they ahve strong belief in the al-Qur'an and every word of it is set to be challenged by rational thinking.

[ISMIHANI]

@nicksum29 , You've mixed up poems and divine revelation. Strange enough of your thought regarding truth. many things in life that you aren't able to observe and feel their existences and thus you failed in making decisions. Life in hereafter isn't a fiction and no way that you are able to tell about it unless through revelation. Allah is great and He gives you everything that you need in life. The reason is that you're His creature. Nevertheless, true faith provides you in both worlds.

[nicksum29]

@ISMIHANI Allah and Jehovah are the same. Islam is a Tribe of Israel. I am Christian and therefore worship the same God as you. You are preaching to the converted. Go and save the lost.

[ISMIHANI]

@nicksum29 , There is nothing in this world the same in all aspects. Allah is One, there is no conception of trinity in attributues of Allah. Jesus is a human, a creature . Whenever association takes place, falsehood prevailed. Jesus was one of the prophets. Like any other prophet ever sent down to his clan, telling the truth of religion, namely Islam meaning that peace, salaam. Allah is our God and God of all His creatures.

[nicksum29]

@ISMIHANI Why do you blaspheme my religion? Did I offend yours? Why must the radical members of Islam always try to impose their beliefs onto the peaceful God-fearing faiths of the West? This is not religion but violent militancy. Shame on you. How dare you use your very young scripture to condemn Christian scriptures which are hundreds of years older than your own, and to contradict Torah, which is the very father of your faith. I shall pray for you.

[ISMIHANI]

@nicksum29 , Oops I didn't mean to shame you on the matter of belief. I do respect your religion as taught by Islam. The only thing that I need to share with you is related with the truth of religion either yours or mine is true, but not both. Let's be openminded in this specific subject. Logically speaking, if you've something which is considered truth, why not share the idea so that everyone is able to think it over. Unless you've nothing to offer, then our discussion is distorted.

[nicksum29]

@ISMIHANI All religions that lead to JHWH are truthful.

[ISMIHANI]

@nicksum29, Who said that Allah and Jehovah are the same? Your understanding on the matter is a compilation of ideas advocated by unreliable sources including Torah and the bible whereby all these have been altered by many. You may quote verses of these sources and convince people of falsehood but at the end of the day you won't be able to differentiate between truth and falsehood. Your fate will be misrable.

[nicksum29]

@ISMIHANI You re not a prophet, my arrogant little man. You know nothing of my fate. The Koran was also a document that evolved, changed, was added to and subtracted from over many centuries. To deny this is to be not only untruthful, but foolish. Torah and Koran are intrinsically linked. Just as the New Treatment and Torah are linked. Now stop waisting your time, and go pray. I think you need it.

[musicfanyep]

And keep in mind of course that we’re not born with good values in mind, we learn those values from society and society learns it from God and so no matter what people say, The Constitution really was written with God in mind. It might be too late to climb back up though because gay marriage really is the start of a slippery slope.

[musicfanyep]

God does have compassion, nevertheless, He understands same sex attraction is not a choice, but He wants you to help promote this world to move out of the shadows by staying sexually abstinent & He will make it easy for you to keep the lust away if you believe in Him. & this song lyric does hold true “There can be miracles when you believe“.

[ISMIHANI]

@musicfanyep, lust shouldn't be kept away, but need to be controlled and justified. Minds have to be guided and lust will drive your emotion, spirit and intelligence (ESI) accordingly. Where does ESI play the role for homosexual partners? Non sense whatsoever.

[musicfanyep]

& people all over this planet will just lose hope & not believe in God anymore & everyone would just hate & rape & kill each other & it will be like Sodom & Gomorrah all over again & so obviously there's a valid reason why God does not accept gay marriage.

[musicfanyep]

& then people who want to marry their first cousins will have their way & then men who want to marry their daughters or their granddaughters. It'll just get worse & worse with slavery (including sex slavery) being accepted into law. Basically while all that happens, core moral values & real genuine love (which of course includes forgiveness) will be replaced by total corruption, lust & hatred

[musicfanyep]

Before you know it, polyamorous people will also make the same defense, like for instance a bisexual man who wants to marry ten other men & ten women would say: “Hey, if there’s a separation of Church & State & gay marriage is as immoral as polyamorous marriage in the eyes of God, then our marriages must be legal as gay marriages are!“ & then they’ll make it legal.

[musicfanyep]

I’m going with Rabbi Levin on his stance against gay marriage. And also, the fact is is that there isn’t a real Jewish rabbi or a real priest in Christianity or a real Muslim imam or mullah that would ever accept homosexual relations. So true, gay marriage is as immoral as polyamorous marriage in the eyes of God. They say religion & state are separate, & now some gay people are trying to rationalize: “There’s a separation of Church & State, so banning gay marriage is against The Constitution!”

[mir46dis]

shut up you represent no one but yourself, a frum yid..

[kellycat2552]

This is the ONLY guy who is fighting the militant gay agenda. He is smart, moral, and fighting. God Bless Him!!!!

[Karmalize]

hate is an attack on spirituality and religion

[schrire39]

The rabbi is right: It is a battle between his religious beliefs and the human rights of gay and lesbians. May this rabbi and his kind only know only defeat and shame. We will overcome. Kol ha'kavod to all those gay men and lesbians who are born and survive the deep, pathalogical hatred of men like these. He says he has "compassion",,, this is the same sort of "compassion" a father has when he beats his children

[51516]

Rabbi Creepo ! He may be hiding a secret...hmm? Maybe? I'm not saying anything.

You know, i'm just sayin.

[AmosPressley]

Kol Hakavod, Rabbi!

This is a CBS interview? I wonder how it was edited and broadcast? It is indeed a good idea when being interviewed by liberals to have your OWN copy of the interview.

As an AnaBaptist Christian, I am aware of the destructive homosexual agenda, aimed at religious organizations. They do NOT believe in "live and let live," but they have managed to convince many. I have at times felt as if we are the only ones fighting. It is good to see some courage in the Jewish community!

[fragment4u]

good one rabbi
